  • Patent number: 11915831
    Abstract: A system includes a learning filter for deidentified healthcare data. The system provides self-improving data filtering of data for the detection of disorders for engaging patients in observational research to gather additional data. A processor performs operations including obtaining patient information about a patient and current order data. The current order data indicates an order for a laboratory test for the patient and obtaining, from a database, historical data indicating a previous laboratory test for the patient and a result of the previous laboratory test. The operations further include determining that the patient is a subject of interest for a disorder by applying the filter to historical data to produce filtered data and comparing the filtered data to a profile associated with the disorder. Additional laboratory tests can be performed, after which a hash-to-patient identifier (PID) mapping database and the filter can be updated.
